GM sues bankrupt supplier Cadence over parts - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

OUR72GTO · 12-27-2008, 02:35 AM

This has been out there since August ..... It is just that legal steps are needed as any contract GM enters into will cover their @ss in this likelihood.

Have faith........This car was meant to be the start of GM'S REBIRTH.

It's going to be the 55 CHEVY of the 21 century.

You need to change the headline of this thread.....most folks would not give it a read..

Headline needs to say "Camaro Start of Production May Be Pushed Back - GM Files Lawsuit Against Supplier"

TomServo · 12-27-2008, 09:30 AM

My son (who has a 2SS/RS ordered) has told me he'll cancel if the car isn't ready and waiting upon his arrival back from Iraq in April.

He'll buy a used Corvette.

XAnimal · 12-27-2008, 10:10 AM

I'm in the same boat....If its not gonna be ready when I get back/shorty after I may end up with a Charger and something because I have no car as of right now

Cadence has the dies for the camaro instrument panel. They mold the panel. Additionally, they purchase the gauges etc. for them from another supplier, assemble the completed IP and sell the entire assembled unit to GM. Keep in mind that this also applies to the floor console with gauges.

Cadence has released the dies to manufacturers in the past, but only after the manufacturer has paid for them. I'm not saying GM has not paid for them...I did'nt want to put my neighbor on the spot answering such a question. However, for whatever reason the dies are not being released to GM at this time. I did not ask if any finished product was being released etc. and again I would'nt put a friend in the position of answering questions like that during such a sensitive time.

So....it would appear that there will be a slight delay for GM to obtain these parts unless the legal beagles can work their magic quickly or GM decides to throw a bunch of sheckles to a supplier. I'm sure it is a situation that GM has worked their way through before.

And "yes"...I'm as upset about it as anyone else on this site. I will let everyone know if I get any additional factual information in the future, but such info will probably be released to the press first anyway.

If they were to delay it would hopefully give them more time for ABL, and possibly HUD if we're lucky.
